<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Keith,</div><div><br></div><div>Nice dance! I think the notes in your email are different from the animation though. In the first part of B2, your animation shows the men allemanding with each other, not with their next neighbors (who would be ladies). Is the intended instruction? It's a fun idea. Next time I am calling to a group of capable dancers, I'll give it a try.<br></div><div><br></div><div>A similar figure with the gent-only interaction moving up/down the line also occurs in Jim Hemphill's "Steam Train" and "Raindrops on a Chain" ( <a href="http://www.childgrove.org/mo-dances/jim-hemphill">http://www.childgrove.org/mo-dances/jim-hemphill</a> ). I've been trying to write a variation on Steam Train which alternates between the women doing the key figure (same-sex interaction up the line) and the men (as written), but it hasn't quite converged yet....</div><div><br></div><div>Steven<br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, Sep 24, 2018 at 2:54 AM <<a href="mailto:callers-request@lists.sharedweight.net">callers-request@lists.sharedweight.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Send Callers mailing list submissions to<br>

Hi Everyone<br>
<br>
My latest dance for your enjoyment, with an animation at <br>
<a href="http://www.dancekaleidoscope.org.au/dance.html#Ophidian" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.dancekaleidoscope.org.au/dance.html#Ophidian</a>.<br>

Ophidian<br>
Keith Wood September 2018<br>
Becket formation, double reverse progression<br>
<br>
The snakelike move for the men to reunite with their partners inspired <br>
this dance, and its name. If there's a spare couple at the bottom they <br>
wait together on the "men's" line. The woman joins in from the diagonal <br>
ladies chain, while the man joins in from the snake.<br>
<br>
A1 ?? Men allemande left once around, while women orbit clockwise half-way<br>
? ?? ?? Swing opposite<br>
A2??? On the left diagonal, ladies chain to shadow<br>
? ?? ?? Opposite do-si-do left shoulder<br>
B1 ?? Star left once around<br>
? ?? ?? Star right once around<br>
B2 ?? Snake: Men allemande right 5/8, next neighbour allemande left 1/2, <br>
next neighbour allemande right 1/2 to face partner; man coming out at <br>
the end loop right and rejoin immediately<br>
? ?? ?? Swing partner<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
<br>
Keith<br>
